0 Green Eggs and Dan Dan is a fantastic host that draws out answers people want to know from his unique guests. Sometimes they are funny, sometimes they are inspiring, and sometimes you learn something you did not know about the restaurant industry! While this podcast does, admittedly, come across as a bit more pretentious than it probably means to be, it is still a great listen. As a lover of comedy and comedians and food, I find myself entertained by every episode. I think the show loses touch with the common audience (including myself) when certain episodes become almost exclusively about the best, most expensive fine dining experiences that most people can’t afford or even access, but there are not many episodes that are like this. Dan and his guests bring a lot of heart to their conversations and make interesting connections between food, their backgrounds, their cultures, and their careers. Dan is a class act and everyone should try out at least a few episodes of this podcast! The host is hilarious- you may recognize him from Cobra Kai, Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, or his small (but huge) role on Shameless. One of my favorite podcasts! It took me several episodes to figure out why this show left such a bad taste in my mouth when the premise has everything I’m interested in. The fawning fan girling would be fine and maybe even charming in a more likable or relatable host. Instead it comes off as both disingenuous and obsequious. The ongoing and egregiously affected tone that the unwashed masses just can’t possibly understand the sophisticated POV that the host shares with the guest is wildly distasteful.\nAs another reviewer said ‘pretentious AF’. In addition it’s totally humorless which is the worst kind of arrogance when the host obviously thinks otherwise. It takes a special kind of talent to make such an interesting subject and subjects this truly boring and irritating.\nThe conceit is interesting but there’s a Korean show on Netflix that did it first and does it better. The conceit *is* interesting but the host? Too conceited. ...but the host is pretentious AF and gets far too much pleasure from his “restaurant pet peeves.” His tune would change a bit, I’m sure, if he ever had to work a shift as a server. Really enjoy the guests and it’s always fun to compare what in my own fridge with what’s in theirs. Lots of interesting conversations and I’m hopeful for a new season! I’ve listened to him on another podcast that I thought I liked. Until I heard him say how great it would be for parents “of severely disabled parents to fix it so their kids don’t pee in a bag.” I can’t even begin to describe how mean, insensitive and ableist this talk is. As a parent of a severely disabled child, who doesn’t “pee in bag” I found it very degrading. My sons life is no less than snot one else. No one needs a self important podcast host of all people to place value on people. Enjoy his privileged and self important podcast at your own peril. I love when I can learn and laugh at the same time, and this podcast checks all the boxes! This podcast is not only entertaining, but also really informative! Love the food info and restaurant recommendations, but the real entertainment is in the fridge pics!\n*perhaps don’t listen on an empty stomach* If you want to listen to overpaid undeserving “celebrity” types boast about how amazing their lives are, how well they are eating and at times rag on homeless and mentally ill individuals, this is the show for you. Now sure where the comedy is. Gave it a try bc of spilled milks rec, but no.
1 Audio Poem of the Day Thank you for the poems. test What we need now in our world is more caring, thoughtful people. Poets are such people. By their nature they examine their (and by extension, our) inner lives, and with immense generosity they give us the benefit of their well-honed mindful insights, delivered in beautiful phrases and cadences.\n\nMy only suggestion is, could you please make the entire archive available? I only learned of you recently and it seems I cannot have access to the first 161 episodes. Is there any way you can retrofit the library to make them available?\n\nWhether you can or not, I’m very grateful for what you’ve already provided! Please don’t stop! The importance of this project cannot be overstated. Poets are the protectors and purveyors of history. But the future is represented here too. All we have to do is let the voices in.\n\nMy only suggestion: provide more recordings of works read by the author wherever possible. Robert Lowell, for example, had a distinct reading style which I personally believe adds to the experience of his poems.\n\nThank you for all you do to bring us poetry. Interesting idea and poem choices. Some of these I have to save to replay over and over. Almost all are less than 3 minutes, so they're easy to fit in to spare moments.\n\nNote that they're not actually released every day, just most days. A great variety of poetry, read without pretension. A good panorama of interesting poems. Simple grit\nAnd good\nFit Wonderful selections, zero fluff. thank you for this. hearing poetry read aloud makes it more accessible and moving to me.\n\ncontrary to what another review said, I like this the way it is. it doesn’t need an intro/outro, especially when the content is so short.

Each week, JRVP features stories from their lives, deep dives into the darkest and craziest news stories from around the world and essential recommendations to their listeners. The hilarious podcast is about friendship, family and Anthony's unquenchable desire to get Gregg in trouble with his employer and his wife. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jeselnik-rosenthal-vanity-project/id1434904509 A fan causes a horrific tour de France crash, a woman claiming to have 10 babies is caught lying and a redneck rave ends in impalement. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.SEAWEED IS DEAD. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Anthony almost got scammed - if it weren't for Gregg and Erica yelling at him before the show.

Because I don’t think Greggs marriage could handle the stress of less stars and I’m not heartless Great for any fan of horse racing. Obviously Anthony is very funny. Erica is a sneaky great part of the mix as well. Greg also talks. I tried to recount the tragically hilarious stories in this podcast. Unfortunately, I just make my friends sad and uncomfortable. Anyway, love the podcast. Many of us listen to Comedian podcasts hoping that Anthony Jeselnik will be on as a guest. But guess what? HE’S ALWAYS ON THIS ONE!!! This is not some rinky dink podcast 70-90 minutes of unadulterated comedy delivered weekly- the perfect dose of dopamine, but free of the adverse side effects (other than the desire to drop babies, claim one‘s dog is the equivalent to two to three children ((as you should)), finding sources of delight and laughter in the face of otherwise paralyzing tragedy, and finding one’s self wanting a subscription to an erectile dysfunction medication even if it’s completely gender and situationally inappropriate just because the ads send you into hysterical fits of laughter)… Just do it. Just subscribe. Better than Tim Dillon This would be my favorite podcast if not for the Around the NFL podcast starring Marc Sessler. Even sans Sessler, this podcast JRVP (junior Vice President), is world class. Would give more stars if I could. There are only 2 types of people in this world, people who subscribe to this show and racists. Aaa-lot of racists...

511 SmartLess Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett Comedy 4.7 23700 52 "SmartLess" with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, & Will Arnett is a podcast that connects and unites people from all walks of life to learn about shared experiences through thoughtful dialogue and organic hilarity. A nice surprise: in each episode of SmartLess, one of the hosts reveals his mystery guest to the other two. What ensues is a genuinely improvised and authentic conversation filled with laughter and newfound knowledge to feed the SmartLess mind. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/smartless/id1521578868 We've got electrolyte-specialist José Andrés on the horn this week for episode numero 50. World-changing Chef, Restauranteur, and Generous Human, José teaches us about humanitarian journeys, the love for a ripe gooseneck barnacle, and his ability to sexualize mayonnaise better than his French or Italian neighbors. José A doesn’t F around… and we get to F around with him. Buen provecho.Our dear old pal David Cross (comedian, actor, writer, director) jumps into the jacuzzi with us this week. We discuss jail stories, a love for lamp posts, the demise of Company Video... and Sean pitches "Arrested Development" to the gang.Our knockaround guy from the old neighborhood, Mr. Justin Theroux, arrives wearing two t-shirts, and departs in only one. Justin is an actor, writer, artist, and performer, known most notably for his shirtless airplane flights and pre-made smoothie recipes. He’s also written lil’ things like Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2, and is starring in The Mosquito Coast. But sometimes we just love him for how he stirs the gravy.Golf-buddy Rob McElhenney zips in for some hoots and hollers in Podville, USA. Rob is an actor, writer, director, producer... and co-owner of Wrexham Association Football Club (and you can bet hard money that Will is ready to talk-shoppe on this subject). Plus, allergy tips for extra-credit! Willkommen y bienvenue.The ultra-hydrated Mitch Hurwitz (writer, producer, creator of Arrested Development) rolls on through, teaching us a variety of skills that range from recycling Post-it notes to writing comedy. Welcome to '4 Skeletons on a Podcast,' otherwise known as SmartLess.Mr. Jake Tapper surprises & delights us this week. Journalist, CNN lead anchor, author, cartoonist, and cardio-enthusiast, Jake shares workout secrets and his love for Teen Wolf Too. Welcome back to another episode of SmartLess: your ticket to learnings. You brought out the funny in José Andrés. Please get David Chang on to follow up. Now that the world is opening up and you all can go back to normal life, please don’t abandon us!\nThis is such a great podcast-so funny, informative, warm and lively. It’s such a treat to laugh while learning. Sean, Jason and Will are beyond funny, solid chemistry, and they let us in to what un-relatable Hollywood life is like. From “sexy indifference” (which no normal person says), to eating mid-podcast (inexplicably rude), to asking the same questions week-after-week you could find in a new employee mixer at Google, I find myself literally waiting for Monday, for a new episode, because it’s that $@?!*+# funny. This podcast is what all podcasts should be…entertaining, engaging, and powered by great leads. Smartless is crushing it. And the most recent episode with Jose Andres is phenomenal. Jose andres deserves a Nobel peace prize. Great show! Great podcast, but waayyyy too many commercials. Don’t waste my time. Excellent review going to you guys for having Jose on!! He’s a rock star in humanitarian!! One of my favorite people, one I used to love but am over and one who always bugged me, yet as a group they are quite funny. Unsolicited suggestions:\nPlease offer a patreon so I don’t have to sit through 12 commercials in the hour, and possibly be able to see the 4 people to allow us in on the physical comedy\nPlease stop asking the same questions of every guest regarding losing a parent or who they are influenced by. So pretty much things that we can’t find on Wikipedia maybe? I also enjoy funny stories from on set with the guest.\nMy last suggestion but please no more politicians, I like to escape all that and just laugh for an hour. You can’t expect honesty from any of them for one, and they are not celebrities, but giving them a platform like this makes them think they are. I won’t listen to any of those episodes and I hope you read these reviews and note that I’m not alone in this.\nThe reviews complaining about diversity, please give it a rest. They choose who they know, who is available to join, and who they find funny. Lots of things in entertainment are solely made up of and for African Americans, who are 13% of population so I don’t get the issue except to make some imaginary claims of racism where it doesn’t exist. This is comedy not politics.\nThat all said, I love this podcast and it’s ok if you don’t do any of my things, I still love it ❤️ Way to Mail it in boys with Andres.non Hollywood types just not interesting to you boys? Hey pandemics over why you still doing this? As much as I LOVE this podcast, I have begun to really notice the lack of diversity...\nI think you guys can do better 💅 I kinda wish they would host more interesting guests. Maybe I’m just too young for this podcast, idk. I stay subscribed hoping each week I’d be interested in a guess but it’s always people I’ve never heard of or don’t care about. The 3 hosts aren’t interesting enough to listen to on their own and don’t get me started on the ads.

Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices I have not received a Headspace podcast since last Thursday, is anything wrong? I miss you! To the Headspace Team: Thank you for all that you do, my life has become much happier after incorporating a daily mindfulness practice, and this podcast is a daily encouragement. To anyone wondering whether to try this: please do! The episodes are short, usually about 5’, I tend to listen to it while walking from the parking garage into the hospital each morning. It’s Andy offering his insight, whether about general topics in mindfulness or about current events or even just the human experience. I hope you come to look forward to each episode as much as I do. A couple things\nOne, more Andy! I love the sound of his voice!\nTwo, could you do a guided meditation like on Netflix for sleep?\nLove this and thank you! Andy, Sam, and The Headspace Team, thank you so much for creating this. I’ve used the meditation app for three years - it’s changed my life- and I’m always left wanting to hear more of Andy’s thoughts. I rally appreciate the new hat, Sam, as well. I love these expanded points on living through a meditative lens. In a time of great strife, sometimes it’s the only podcast I can listen to for the day. Love this podcast and I listen every day but Sam, the woman hosting now is really not good. She talks about herself every day. Andy Puddicombe is fantastic as is Eve so I suggest listening from the beginning. Thank you Sam, Eve and Andy! Everyday you guys take me to a soulful journey that gives me perspective in challenging situations and adds joy to my daily life. Really, thank you! Really appreciate June 3, 2021 episode. Used to listen every morning when it was Andy. Could not relate to Eve so I haven’t listened in a few weeks. Today’s podcast about how a day of silence in high school led a kid who practiced piano for 5 minutes a day to suddenly play heart and soul two handed being presented as a story of persistence was comically disappointing. Will not be following anymore. I still highly recommend the headspace app. I’ve been using Headspace on and off for a while. Sometimes I’ll go a week without meditating and get lost. But I’m so happy I found this podcast to get up with every morning! I look forward to it every day and it immediately makes my day start in a mindful, self-aware manner.\n5/5 I’m sorry but I pay for the app to hear Andy. And I listened to this podcast for the same reason. Unfortunately I’m unsubscribing if he won’t be back. [The Last Archive, Netflix Is A Daily Joke]

1718 Blindspot The HISTORY® Channel and WNYC Studios History 4.1 293 16 On May 31, 1921, Tulsa’s Greenwood District was thriving — a Black city within a city. By June 1, it was in ashes, leveled by a white supremacist mob. The Tulsa Race Massacre remains one of the worst incidents of racial terror in U.S. history. In six episodes, Blindspot: Tulsa Burning tells the story of a thriving neighborhood that attackers set on fire, and the scars that remain 100 years later. We consider the life of this remarkable 35 blocks of Tulsa through the stories of the survivors, descendants and inheritors of that legacy. A co-production of The HISTORY® Channel and WNYC Studios, in collaboration with KOSU and Focus Black Oklahoma. New episodes drop every Friday. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blindspot/id1567282609 This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence.Ignored, erased, silenced… But Greenwood’s trauma from 1921 persists. Resmaa Menakem — a therapist and expert on healing from conflict and violence — explains how generations of people pass down the experiences of historical events, and how racialized trauma affects us all, no matter our skin color. He and KalaLea ask, how might healing happen for the descendants of survivors and perpetrators of the massacre?This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence and racially offensive language.Over two days — May 31 and June 1, 1921 — a mob of white attackers systematically looted Greenwood and burned it to the ground. Estimates vary, but reports say the marauders killed 100 to 300 people; and they left thousands homeless, faced with the daunting task of rebuilding. We experience the attack through the eyes of lawyer B.C. Franklin and reporter Mary Elizabeth Jones Parrish — each left personal, comprehensive written accounts of those terrible days. We also hear how their experiences have affected their descendants. “They had a lot of family trauma,” says Parrish’s great-granddaughter Anneliese Bruner. “Some of these are behaviors that arise because of the chaos that is passed down from generation to generation. The responses and the symptoms are just the outward manifestation of the suffering that people are enduring and carrying around.”This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence and racially offensive language.When the U.S. entered World War I, W.E.B. DuBois and Tulsa lawyer B.C. Franklin saw a rare opportunity: Black Americans serving in the military might finally persuade white citizens that they deserved equal respect. But the discrimination they faced in civilian life continued in the trenches and on the homefront. After the war, white mobs plundered and burned Black neighborhoods throughout the country. And during the “Red Summer” of 1919, whites lynched more than 80 people, including Black veterans. Groups like the African Blood Brotherhood responded by urging people to defend themselves — with force, if necessary. On May 31, 1921 the fight arrived in Greenwood.The people beyond Greenwood’s borders ensured that the neighborhood could not prosper for long. To understand how and why, we travel back to the Trail of Tears and the forced resettlement of five Native American tribes. We examine the racist laws and policies that shaped the area. Despite Jim Crow segregation, the district flourished -- it even came to be called “Black Wall Street.” “The story of Greenwood is so complex,” says writer Victor Luckerson. “There's so much tragedy and trauma as part of it, but also so much inspiration.” We also meet the journalist A.J. Smitherman, legendary publisher of The Tulsa Star (one of the first Black daily newspapers in the United States) and a fierce advocate for his community.This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence and racially offensive language.On May 31, 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Greenwood District was a thriving Black residential and business community — a city within a city. By June 1, a white mob, with the support of law enforcement, had reduced it to ashes. And yet the truth about the attack remained a secret to many for nearly a century.Chief Egunwale Amusan grew up in Tulsa — his grandfather survived the attack — and he’s dedicated his life to sharing the hidden history of what many called “Black Wall Street.” But Dr. Tiffany Crutcher, also a descendant of a survivor, didn’t learn about her family history or the massacre until she was an adult. Together, they’re trying to correct the historical record.  As Greenwood struggles with the effects of white supremacy 100 years later, people there are asking: in this pivotal moment in American history, is it possible to break the cycle of white impunity and Black oppression?On May 31, 1921, the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma was a thriving city within a city -- a symbol of pride, success and wealth. The next morning, it was ashes.

Jim O’Grady’s statement in episode 5 that Ramsi Yousef made no mention of motivation by Islam rather that he cited US involvement in the Middle East “especially US support of Israel” seems to lead us to a sort of exoneration of militant Islam and only an indictment of US foreign policy. But why do Islamists despise Israel and Judaism so much, if not for age old religiously motivated hatred?\nSure US meddling in Middle East is cynically about energy supply and shares some blame, but I’m not buying the disconnect from radical religion as the motivating factor that dehumanizes “infidels” to justify mass murder.\nGreat podcast though. I’m hooked, and will see what other conclusions are drawn and suggested. The 9/11 season one was great and I’m trying to like season 2 on the massacre in Tulsa but the content is so heavy on background the actual ‘what happened’ component leaves one wanting much more detail on the actual event. When is the continuation of season 1? Why did we go season 2 to a different topic? This is a deep dive into an event that changed the world and the first 7 episodes found the sweet spot between being detailed but not obsessive. Then Episode stalled 8, giving less than a half hour to the actual hijacking itself. Soooo disappointed! Bravo! This is one of my favorites. Incredible to hear the details behind an event that reshaped the world. It’s not about 9/11 but the events leading up to it and how many misses the US Goverment had to prevent it. For provide 8 episodes of in depth info into 911. This serious has no happy ending but MAN, you did a great job providing details about the who’s the what’s , they where’s the whys, and the how’s! Can wait to hear another one of your serious.\n\nP.s. sorry for your lost during the attacks. I learned of this while searching for best podcasts of 2020. Yes it belongs on the best of 2020 list. Well researched and Jim’s proximity makes him the ideal story teller. Some of the story has faded with time but it’s important that we walk through it again as the 20th anniversary approaches. There is so much content out there. So many choices. We’ve had a rough few years culminating in our own internal terrorist act. We missed signs on 9/11. We missed signs on 1/6. Twenty years later we have these same lessons to learn. In American soil. This work is just extraordinary. I think I’ll start back at the beginning now. I need to listen with newly informed ears. Thanks Blindspot team one and all. I came across this in my feed. Let me say that I am blown away by the terrific reporting. The production of the series is also brilliant. I had the misfortune of listening to ‘The Other Latif’ from Radiolab and that one pales in comparison to this brilliant piece. I once again congratulate you guys for the amazing work. []
1719 Blindspot HISTORY History 4.5 1300 16 On May 31, 1921, Tulsa’s Greenwood District was thriving — a Black city within a city. By June 1, it was in ashes, leveled by a white supremacist mob. The Tulsa Race Massacre remains one of the worst incidents of racial terror in U.S. history. In six episodes, Blindspot: Tulsa Burning tells the story of a thriving neighborhood that attackers set on fire, and the scars that remain 100 years later. We consider the life of this remarkable 35 blocks of Tulsa through the stories of the survivors, descendants and inheritors of that legacy. A co-production of The HISTORY® Channel and WNYC Studios, in collaboration with KOSU and Focus Black Oklahoma. New episodes drop every Friday. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blindspot/id1529014757 This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence.Ignored, erased, silenced… But Greenwood’s trauma from 1921 persists. Resmaa Menakem — a therapist and expert on healing from conflict and violence — explains how generations of people pass down the experiences of historical events, and how racialized trauma affects us all, no matter our skin color. He and KalaLea ask, how might healing happen for the descendants of survivors and perpetrators of the massacre?This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence and racially offensive language.Over two days — May 31 and June 1, 1921 — a mob of white attackers systematically looted Greenwood and burned it to the ground. Estimates vary, but reports say the marauders killed 100 to 300 people; and they left thousands homeless, faced with the daunting task of rebuilding. We experience the attack through the eyes of lawyer B.C. Franklin and reporter Mary Elizabeth Jones Parrish — each left personal, comprehensive written accounts of those terrible days. We also hear how their experiences have affected their descendants. “They had a lot of family trauma,” says Parrish’s great-granddaughter Anneliese Bruner. “Some of these are behaviors that arise because of the chaos that is passed down from generation to generation. The responses and the symptoms are just the outward manifestation of the suffering that people are enduring and carrying around.”This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence and racially offensive language.When the U.S. entered World War I, W.E.B. DuBois and Tulsa lawyer B.C. Franklin saw a rare opportunity: Black Americans serving in the military might finally persuade white citizens that they deserved equal respect. But the discrimination they faced in civilian life continued in the trenches and on the homefront. After the war, white mobs plundered and burned Black neighborhoods throughout the country. And during the “Red Summer” of 1919, whites lynched more than 80 people, including Black veterans. Groups like the African Blood Brotherhood responded by urging people to defend themselves — with force, if necessary. On May 31, 1921 the fight arrived in Greenwood.The people beyond Greenwood’s borders ensured that the neighborhood could not prosper for long. To understand how and why, we travel back to the Trail of Tears and the forced resettlement of five Native American tribes. We examine the racist laws and policies that shaped the area. Despite Jim Crow segregation, the district flourished -- it even came to be called “Black Wall Street.” “The story of Greenwood is so complex,” says writer Victor Luckerson. “There's so much tragedy and trauma as part of it, but also so much inspiration.” We also meet the journalist A.J. Smitherman, legendary publisher of The Tulsa Star (one of the first Black daily newspapers in the United States) and a fierce advocate for his community.This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence and racially offensive language.On May 31, 1921, Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Greenwood District was a thriving Black residential and business community — a city within a city. By June 1, a white mob, with the support of law enforcement, had reduced it to ashes. And yet the truth about the attack remained a secret to many for nearly a century.Chief Egunwale Amusan grew up in Tulsa — his grandfather survived the attack — and he’s dedicated his life to sharing the hidden history of what many called “Black Wall Street.” But Dr. Tiffany Crutcher, also a descendant of a survivor, didn’t learn about her family history or the massacre until she was an adult. Together, they’re trying to correct the historical record.  As Greenwood struggles with the effects of white supremacy 100 years later, people there are asking: in this pivotal moment in American history, is it possible to break the cycle of white impunity and Black oppression?On May 31, 1921, the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma was a thriving city within a city -- a symbol of pride, success and wealth. The next morning, it was ashes. What happened remained a secret for almost a century.Voices featured in this trailer include: KalaLea, Chief Eguwale Amusan, Quraysh Ali Lansana, Raven Majia Williams, and Dr. Tiffany Crutcher.The first episode drops Friday, May 28.

Today's Song of the Day finds the long-running project of Wesley Eisold drawing influence from their former tour mates The Jesus and Mary Chain and Nine Inch Nails. The accompanying video was directed by Travis Shinn and Jeremy Danger, and finds the group encircled by 23 candles given to Eisold from his friend and collaborator Mark Lanegan.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.With her sophomore LP Stand For Myself, Grammy-nominated artist Yola reclaims her crown as the self-described "queen of country soul." She teams up again with producer Dan Auerbach in his studio and on his record label, both named Easy Eye Sound. On the album's title track, Yola finds her footing again. As she says in a press statement:"The song’s protagonist “token,” has been shrinking themselves to fit into the narrative of another’s making, but it becomes clear that shrinking is pointless. This song is about a celebration of being awake from the nightmare supremacist paradigm. Truly alive, awake and eyes finally wide open and trained on your path to self actualisation. You are thinking freely and working on undoing the mental programming that has made you live in fear. It is about standing for ourselves throughout our lives and real change coming when we challenge our thinking. This is who I’ve always been in music and in life. There was a little hiatus where I got brainwashed out of my own majesty, but a bitch is back."Stand For Myself will be released 7/30 on Easy Eye Sound.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.On their new album Golden Doubt, Melbourne-via-Tasmanian quartet Quivers honor their resilience. Vocalist Sam Nicholson breaks down the LP title. “Golden, because musically we daydream with the guitars of Teenage Fanclub and The Cure, the singing of The Roches’ sisters, the basslines of Another Sunny Day, and the drums of Lower Dens or Car Seat Headrest,” he says. “Golden Doubt, because hitting your thirties after losing people knocks you off balance for a while, but no longer caring what the world thinks is always a breakthrough feeling.”On today's Song of the Day, the band reflects on the beauty in the world.

Let KEXP help! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/song-of-the-day/id121393815 Darkwave duo Cold Cave deliver their distinctive synth-driven psychedelic sound on their latest EP, Fate In Seven Lessons. Today's Song of the Day finds the long-running project of Wesley Eisold drawing influence from their former tour mates The Jesus and Mary Chain and Nine Inch Nails. The accompanying video was directed by Travis Shinn and Jeremy Danger, and finds the group encircled by 23 candles given to Eisold from his friend and collaborator Mark Lanegan.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.With her sophomore LP Stand For Myself, Grammy-nominated artist Yola reclaims her crown as the self-described "queen of country soul." She teams up again with producer Dan Auerbach in his studio and on his record label, both named Easy Eye Sound. On the album's title track, Yola finds her footing again. As she says in a press statement:"The song’s protagonist “token,” has been shrinking themselves to fit into the narrative of another’s making, but it becomes clear that shrinking is pointless. This song is about a celebration of being awake from the nightmare supremacist paradigm. Truly alive, awake and eyes finally wide open and trained on your path to self actualisation. You are thinking freely and working on undoing the mental programming that has made you live in fear. It is about standing for ourselves throughout our lives and real change coming when we challenge our thinking. This is who I’ve always been in music and in life. There was a little hiatus where I got brainwashed out of my own majesty, but a bitch is back."Stand For Myself will be released 7/30 on Easy Eye Sound.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.On their new album Golden Doubt, Melbourne-via-Tasmanian quartet Quivers honor their resilience. Vocalist Sam Nicholson breaks down the LP title. “Golden, because musically we daydream with the guitars of Teenage Fanclub and The Cure, the singing of The Roches’ sisters, the basslines of Another Sunny Day, and the drums of Lower Dens or Car Seat Headrest,” he says. “Golden Doubt, because hitting your thirties after losing people knocks you off balance for a while, but no longer caring what the world thinks is always a breakthrough feeling.”On today's Song of the Day, the band reflects on the beauty in the world.

Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices I’ve loved this show from the beginning, but recently they’ve been skimming the surface of their topics and not sharing any of the real data and details like they used to. The titles have also gotten really click-baity and hyperbolic, to the point where I almost don’t want to listen to the episode…and then I give it a shot and realize it’s still a legitimate science show. Hoping they come back around and become a five star show again! First off, I absolutely love this podcast and I can’t get enough of it!\n\nCan you consider doing an episode on deodorant? I still use the deodorant with aluminum, but, is it time to switch to the funky natural deodorant for my health? Thank you for Wendy and Rose for doing this research on dog food ingredients and DCM and explaining it well. Both of my Golden Retrievers died from diet-related dilated cardiomyopathy after eating grain-free food . I never knew to report their deaths to the FDA until I joined the DCM groups on Facebook which have been wonderful support for the thousands upon thousands of pet owners who have lost their dogs (and cats) to this disease. The statistics are low due to underreporting and all these deaths could have been prevented especially after that cat study you reported on was done! Dedicating this review to my golden girls Ella Bean and Maisy Grace. Love the show but the grating voice of the host makes my blood pressure go through the roof. I do LOVE Australian accents but I can’t understand why she exaggerates so much. She should listen to her podcasts and tone it down. She does not sound as bad when she interviews someone on the phone though… sorry, so sad. THIS IS MY MOST FAVORITE PODCAST EVER!!! Whenever I want to listen to something, Science Vs. is the way to go! I also really appreciate the transcript, because I am hearing impaired (moderate to severe), and it’s really hard to enjoy podcasts if you can’t understand anything! I always listen to this during school and my free time! One of my favs. Lots of great topics. And the host, Wendy Zukerman, is hilarious. I love this podcast and have a total nerd crush on Wendy. The best science backed info and a healthy dose of puns, nerd humor, and an absence of agenda. I love how this show lets the evidence bring you to the conclusions and either says true, false, or inconclusive, and Wendy keeps me smiling and laughing even with the most serious subjects. I always look forward to listening to science vs. every week Wendy is the best! I travel nurse and this podcast keeps me awake when I have to drive! Part II of review for this episode (adult portion):\nAgain, if you know much about the topics being discussed, you’ll find episodes of Science VS potentially infuriating because there is often little actual data given or interpreted or contextualized. For the effects of adult screen use, we might want to know about the algorithms determining what we see on FB, IG, Google, etc. Check out the podcast Brave New Planet, episode on algorithms and developing AI. Also worth watching The Social Dilemma (streaming on Netflix). I’m not advocating any of the conclusions here, but fill your mind with various datasets and assessments and consider for yourself. Psychology isn’t the only field studying the effects of screens on adults, teens, and kids, though it is presented here as if that interpretation is enough.

We speak to journalist Tim Golden, Prof. Douglas Smith, Prof. Fernando Montealegre-Zapata, Dr. Mitchell Joseph Valdés-Sosa, Prof. Chris Collins, and Prof. Alan Carson. Our instagram is: science_vsCheck out the transcript here: https://bit.ly/2Pf3janApply to the Science Vs internship! https://jobs.lever.co/spotify/4fd5b230-4bf5-463e-ac64-e13f369f1b1eThis episode was produced by Nick DelRose and Wendy Zukerman, with help from Meryl Horn, Rose Rimler, Michelle Dang and Taylor White. We’re edited by Blythe Terrell. Fact checking by Eva Dasher. Mix and sound design by Bumi Hidaka. Music written by Bumi Hidaka, Peter Leonard, Marcus Bagala, Emma Munger and Bobby Lord. Translation help by Kristin Torres. A huge thanks to the researchers who helped us out for this episode -- we spoke to around two dozen experts to get their thoughts on many different parts of this -- from the brain studies to the possibility of microwave weapons. Many of them just wanted to talk on background - but thank you so much for your time. And special thanks to Ayo Oti, Navani Otero, Andrea B. Scott, the Zukerman family and Joseph Lavelle Wilson.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices I’ve loved this show from the beginning, but recently they’ve been skimming the surface of their topics and not sharing any of the real data and details like they used to. The titles have also gotten really click-baity and hyperbolic, to the point where I almost don’t want to listen to the episode…and then I give it a shot and realize it’s still a legitimate science show. Hoping they come back around and become a five star show again! First off, I absolutely love this podcast and I can’t get enough of it!\n\nCan you consider doing an episode on deodorant? I still use the deodorant with aluminum, but, is it time to switch to the funky natural deodorant for my health? Thank you for Wendy and Rose for doing this research on dog food ingredients and DCM and explaining it well. Both of my Golden Retrievers died from diet-related dilated cardiomyopathy after eating grain-free food . I never knew to report their deaths to the FDA until I joined the DCM groups on Facebook which have been wonderful support for the thousands upon thousands of pet owners who have lost their dogs (and cats) to this disease. The statistics are low due to underreporting and all these deaths could have been prevented especially after that cat study you reported on was done! Dedicating this review to my golden girls Ella Bean and Maisy Grace. Love the show but the grating voice of the host makes my blood pressure go through the roof. I do LOVE Australian accents but I can’t understand why she exaggerates so much. She should listen to her podcasts and tone it down. She does not sound as bad when she interviews someone on the phone though… sorry, so sad. THIS IS MY MOST FAVORITE PODCAST EVER!!! Whenever I want to listen to something, Science Vs. is the way to go! I also really appreciate the transcript, because I am hearing impaired (moderate to severe), and it’s really hard to enjoy podcasts if you can’t understand anything! I always listen to this during school and my free time! One of my favs. Lots of great topics. And the host, Wendy Zukerman, is hilarious. I love this podcast and have a total nerd crush on Wendy. The best science backed info and a healthy dose of puns, nerd humor, and an absence of agenda. I love how this show lets the evidence bring you to the conclusions and either says true, false, or inconclusive, and Wendy keeps me smiling and laughing even with the most serious subjects. I always look forward to listening to science vs. every week Wendy is the best! I travel nurse and this podcast keeps me awake when I have to drive! Part II of review for this episode (adult portion):\nAgain, if you know much about the topics being discussed, you’ll find episodes of Science VS potentially infuriating because there is often little actual data given or interpreted or contextualized. For the effects of adult screen use, we might want to know about the algorithms determining what we see on FB, IG, Google, etc. Check out the podcast Brave New Planet, episode on algorithms and developing AI. Also worth watching The Social Dilemma (streaming on Netflix). I’m not advocating any of the conclusions here, but fill your mind with various datasets and assessments and consider for yourself. Psychology isn’t the only field studying the effects of screens on adults, teens, and kids, though it is presented here as if that interpretation is enough.

I’m really sorry, but Bret Weinstein is such a gadfly! He is forming a theory of vaccine ineffectiveness as he goes on; his latest version is that of the anti vac veterinarian he had on his own podcast— a guy who has made all the rounds on UTube protesting the vaccine. Weinstein is doing the country a disservice, while touting his own importance. Come on Lex; just because UTube cut him off, it doesn’t mean you have to have him your show! What vaccine has NOT been deployed mid pandemic?? Oh vey. Lex asks great questions. Amazing guests. One of the best podcasts for people who enjoy intellectual and nuanced conversation. It’s been almost a month since I discovered Lex Fridman podcast and it just blew my mind how similar he is to me! I no longer feel weird because he and almost every scientist guest he talks to is as weird as me. Thank you Lex for makeing my life easier and changing the way I view life💙💚🌧☘️🤍❤️ Thank you for opening many minds. My suggestion: please try Vipassana Mediation for 10 Days. Would love to here your feedback when you talk with Jack, Twitter CEO, next time. Stay 🤖 ;) The guy interviewed Donald Knuth, that alone “should” deserve 5 stars (see my update below on why that modal showed up). This podcast is what I hoped the world would become with computers and near zero production costs for interviews. That is, in depth and at length discussions about people’s work that isn’t so dumbed down it doesn’t tell you anything. Love love love this show. Thanks Lex!!! Edit: I had dropped some stars because of a bad direction the show took toward the end of the pandemic, but the last 6 interviews seem to be like the old Lex with interesting guests who actually have interesting things to say and aren’t trolls being dressed up as political warriors. Keep it up Lex and thank you!!! I learned more listening to one Lex podcast than in four years of an Ivy League education. Keep it going! I really enjoy your podcast. Thank you for the breadth of conversations. Love the discussions on math, AI, physics, and so much else. I don’t know many podcasts that cover math like yours does. Thank you also for bringing on guests (and yourself) who bring in the Eastern European perspective. Really appreciated your conversation with Dan Carlin too. What a great conversation that was. Just super. The classical guitar in the opening and closing is beautiful. Lex, host of the show, highlights all aspects of AI, science and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens! I honestly really enjoy this podcast, but I actually got mad at the latest episode with David Sinclair. Lex literally talked more than him. I understand it’s exciting to talk with someone like Sinclair and get your points in, but let the man talk more please.

688 Knowledge Fight Knowledge Fight Comedy 4.8 2000 584 Each episode, Dan and Jordan take a look at some clips from that day's Alex Jones Show and struggle to make sense of what they find. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/knowledge-fight/id1192992870 Today, Dan and Jordan dip back into the past to make their way through a rough patch on Alex Jones' show.  In this installment, Alex talks to two jerks about Bilderberg, and a caller describes how he found George H.W. Bush's secret church outside Sugarland, TX.Today, Dan and Jordan check in to see if Alex Jones has developed his John McAfee conspiracies.  In this installment, they learn that he has not, and Alex tries to break his own personal record for Most Times Threatening To Walk Off His Own Show In A Single Episode.Today, Dan and Jordan discuss Alex Jones' knee-jerk reaction to the breaking news of John McAfee's death.  Also, the gents discuss some of Alex's other hijinks from the past week.Today, Dan and Jordan discuss an "emergency broadcast" that Alex Jones put out this weekend.  In this installment, Alex rambles about how January 6 was a false flag, and welcomes back to the show a guest who has turned lying to Alex into a sport.Today, Dan and Jordan check in on a recent episode of The Alex Jones Show to see what's up.  In this installment, Alex declares a recent death an obvious professional execution, signs onto "magnet theory," and throws around a lot of stray bigotry.Today, Dan and Jordan put out a sneaky snake mid-week episode to discuss Alex Jones' much-anticipated review of The Matrix Reloaded. Dan and Jordan are bright guys who pick apart the Alex Jones show, and Alex’s ridiculous claims, via simple tools - facts, logic, reality, and truth. All these tools are the enemies of Alex Jones, which makes him an easy and entertaining target to put a magnifying glass on, and this podcast shows us how/why nearly half the country is living in an alternate reality right now by believing Alex’s nonsense. No one It’s clearly propaganda by the globalists or Chi-Com Elites but I just can’t get enough This is just a great show. It’s got comedy, politics, intelligent analysis, calling out Alex Jones for the charlatan that he is... I look forward to each episode. And I’m really bad about rating but had to after the recent TJ Lavin reference I recently started listening and decided to listen to their earliest episodes. Jordan and Dan have been phenomenal from the start and they’ve drastically stepped up their production value. Love the current intro song and love your content. Update: I finished the backlog and I can confirm this as an excellent show beginning, middle, and end. Keep it up JorDan. It’s rare to find a show so fascinating on so many different levels. Whether it’s the anthropological aspect of examining a radical, fringe element of American society in EXACTLY the time when fringe elements have become so quietly powerful, or the factual aspect that examines how propaganda is created in real time, or simply the human interest angle that examines the inner workings of a clearly broken human being with a big megaphone and a total inability to self reflect; this show is INTERESTING. It’s entertaining, and those angles listed are just the easy ones: there are more! So pull up a chair and meet Dan and Jordan, you’ll be glad you did. These guys are worse than primus!!! Hahahaha Loving the early episodes. go home and tell your mother you’re brilliant. [QAnon Anonymous, The West Wing Thing, TrueAnon, D&D Minus, Well There's Your Problem]

Hear ten weeks of pivotal arguments that have refined our nation's laws. Hosts and lawyers Mary Reichard and Jenny Rough break down the decisions to show us what they really mean. They'll consult with legal experts, educators, and those directly involved. They'll guide you through excerpts of the oral arguments. Peek behind the pillar at cases regarding employment and age discrimination, state funding for religious education, the insanity defense for murder, and other vital issues. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/legal-docket/id1525212317 The Supreme Court first considered the constitutionality of mandatory vaccine laws in Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905). In this episode, hosts Mary Reichard and Jenny Rough examine that decision and cases that expanded it. You will hear from legal experts, doctors, a COVID-19 patient, and a pastor who offer insightful interviews on this this complex debate.Bonus Episode: Mandatory Vaccine LawsHosts Mary Reichard and Jenny Rough preview a handful of cases from the upcoming Supreme Court term: including legal questions over copyright, Catholic adoption agencies, the Affordable Care Act, and free speech on college campuses.Legal Docket is a production of WORLD Radio.

Support WORLD at wng.org/donate ( This podcast has proved to be both informative and fascinating. As a high school student who is active in high level debate competitions, I have both used the episodes as research for presentations and listened to them for personal interest. Each episode is well though through and the concepts explored. I appreciate that while the podcast has a bend to a particular worldview, they talk to attorneys and professionals on both side of the issues, as well as the fact they share plenty of recorded audio from the actual judges in the cases, and strive to show the every day application of the rulings. Stay both and balanced information allows for thoughtful decisions. Thanks for the in-depth back grounds. I was really enjoying this podcast, but unfortunately found the religious bent to be quite a turnoff. This podcast is extremely well-produced, well-written, and well-hosted. I sincerely appreciate the thoughtfulness and care with which the issues are presented to listeners. I am so looking forward to the next season! The passion of the presenters, especially Mary Reichard, comes through the substantial amount of quality research. The topics are expertly delivered and you are left, excited to learn more. This series was great — interesting and enlightening. I look forward to the next series. I am an attorney, and I have enjoyed every episode of Legal Docket. I think this is an excellently produced podcast. Very informative, educational, and engaging. I hope for many more seasons to come! I am not a law student, but I am very concerned about so many of the cases that are reshaping our laws, our society and our future. Thanks for the in depth analysis in layman’s terms! If I were a student, what a great overview these podcasts would be! What an aid to building an understanding of key constitutional principles and precedents. I listened to every episode. Easy to follow. Great pace. And well balanced presentation of each case. CNN, FOX, NBC and all the others could certainly learn from this brand of journalism. But alas, they won’t. Can’t wait for another season. In the spirit of the World and Everything in It podcast, the Legal Docket gives what seems like politically unbiased information from a Christian perspective. They break down difficult-to-understand cases and concepts for the everyday listener. Love love it! []
4065 Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen Audio Up News 4.8 6000 85 Michael Cohen, the former attorney and personal fixer for Donald J. Trump, once vowed to take a bullet for the President. But that was before the country was brought to its knees by the President’s own lies and personal madness. Now, imprisoned in his home, his life, reputation and livelihood destroyed, Cohen is on a mission to right the wrongs he perpetuated on behalf of his boss. Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen, is a raw and unfiltered shining a light into the dark corners of our current American Apocalypse. Tune in weekly for a candid conversation with the New York Times best-selling author and self-proclaimed “gangster lawyer,” as he sets to dismantle the Trump legacy and finds the truth and nothing but the truth. 485302 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohen/id1530639447 The criminal indictment of the Trump Organization puts Donald Trump squarely in the crosshairs of legal jeopardy. But a wounded Trump is still a dangerous Trump; creating a new urgency to jumpstart his political life and remain viable as a candidate. He won’t run because he’s afraid to lose. But as long as his MAGA base thinks he’ll run, the more money he can raise. In addition, he can claim that the DA is only coming after him as a political vendetta. But to remain viable, Trump must appeal to an extremist base that is more prone to conspiracy thinking, violence, racism and hatred. All of this was on display last weekend at his first public rally and will only intensify as his legal troubles mount.A special episode of Mea Culpa breaks down the criminal charges facing Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.Michael discusses Rudy Giuliani’s law suspension and probable disbarment and looks at the stunning fall of America’s mayor after being subsumed and destroyed by Donald Trump. Mother Jones’ Ari Berman joins Mea Culpa to discuss the fallout from their election lies as the GOP pushes an aggressive and authoritarian voter suppression strategy targeting minority voters that has been deemed Jim Crowe 2.0.Michael breaks down the GOP’s Senate blockade of the Voter Rights Bill. Next, the GOP’s war on wokeness and obsession with critical race theory. Then the news that Trump sought to shutdown SNL for his portrayal. Finally, Tara Setmayer from Lincoln Project’s The Breakdown joins Mea Culpa.The Manhattan DA’s case against the Trump Organization and Donald Trump has put intense pressure on the former President as he finds himself increasingly cornered. The prospect of an indictment has forced him back out on the campaign trail as he seeks to shield himself from prosecution by spinning the case as yet another political witch hunt. At the same time, the GOP must reckon with the fact that for good or ill, Trump is still the center of the Republican universe and thus they need to change the narrative. In the past several months, the right has engaged in a propaganda war to white wash the history of the Trump presidency and what happened on January 6th. The result has been a steady drip of stunning and shameless lies. Finally, political strategist and Democratic stalwart Joe Trippi joins Mea Culpa to discuss the fall out caused by the GOP’s authoritarian crusade.The more we learn about January 6th, the more evident it has become of how much was planned in advance and how lucky we were that the outcome wasn’t far worse. The FBI is worried that disaffected QAnon supporters are planning the next wave of violence. Tucker Carlson adds fuel to the fire with baseless assertions that the federal government was behind the January 6th attack. Talking Points Memo reporter Matt Shuham joins Michael to discuss everything extremist. From the Proud Boys to the Oath Keepers he’s been following these groups since January 6th, the government’s case against them and their ties to the GOP and former President Trump. This is a very good podcast. Love how he is keeping it real. Keep up the good work. Because Justice matters and truth matters. We the People deserve the truth. Michael this is a question for you! I hear and absolutely agree with all your viewpoints on Giuliani and my question is were you still in the spot next to Trump during and at the end of the election instead of Giuliani would you have taken his DUMB f’ed up path A-if it was his decision to choose these tactics or B-Trump or his top advisers chose these tactics and had you implement those prison worthy law license revoking asinine tactics? Please stop the back ground music impossible to listen when it is playing. Like you hate the music. I had no expectations when I tuned in. At first I was surprised but skeptical. Now, I prefer Michael and his honest words. He does tell truth and his words have been prophetic. This is worth your time. This podcast is awesome, I discovered you on Jimmy Kimmel, fell down the Michael Cohen interview rabbit hole on YouTube and found you as a genuine guy who hates the way the country is trending. I appreciate your transparency on the things you did under the direction of a bigot. I forgive you as an American citizen and understand you’re trying to right your wrongs by speaking out against injustices as you have said when you take the oath to be a lawyer. It’s great to see this aspect come out and Trump and his moron cult will get their karma soon enough. Michael, I love your podcast! Your show is insightful, honest, entertaining & more informative than most news outlets. I love that you own your mistakes, making amends & moving forward. For bless! 🍺🍺 the show is So good that I don’t mind the theme song and music I love it!!!!! Michael Cohen acts as if his listeners are Slovenian hookers he’s calling to sign an NDA. He YELLS INTO THE MIC FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF. It is so distracting it’s difficult to focus on the content of the podcast. He’s an interesting character. Unfortunately his point of view gets lost in ALL THE YELLING. Mr Cohen, You are a true American Hero. History will bear this out. Keep up the great work! []

We can see that there are some outliers in the number of ratings, hence we will be using median for the next graph instead of mean.

genre = df[['genre', 'num_ratings']]
genre_num_ratings = genre.groupby('genre').median().sort_values(by=['num_ratings'], ascending=False).reset_index()
fig = px.bar(genre_num_ratings, x='genre', y='num_ratings',labels={
                     "genre": "Genre",
                     "num_ratings": "Number of Ratings"
                 }, title="Median number of rating by Genre")
fig.update_layout(xaxis_tickangle=45, yaxis_range=[0,4000])
fig.show()
fig = px.scatter(df, x="num_episodes", y="rating", labels={
                     "rating": "Rating",
                     "num_episodes": "Number of Episodes"
                 }, title="Ratings by number of episodes")
fig.show()

I was wondering if the higher number of episode a podcast have, the higher the rating it will be. The above graph shows that I am wrong. There are podcasts with very little number of episodes but still have very high rating.

Network Graph

Given a podcast, we know the what other subscribers of that podcast subscribes to. Hence, we can make a network visualizing it. However, since our data is too big, we will just look into one of the genre. Let's look into the Education genre.

df_edu = df[df['genre'] == 'Education'].copy()

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Dan is a fantastic host that draws out answers people want to know from his unique guests. Sometimes they are funny, sometimes they are inspiring, and sometimes you learn something you did not know about the restaurant industry! While this podcast does, admittedly, come across as a bit more pretentious than it probably means to be, it is still a great listen. As a lover of comedy and comedians and food, I find myself entertained by every episode. I think the show loses touch with the common audience (including myself) when certain episodes become almost exclusively about the best, most expensive fine dining experiences that most people can’t afford or even access, but there are not many episodes that are like this. Dan and his guests bring a lot of heart to their conversations and make interesting connections between food, their backgrounds, their cultures, and their careers. Dan is a class act and everyone should try out at least a few episodes of this podcast! The host is hilarious- you may recognize him from Cobra Kai, Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, or his small (but huge) role on Shameless. One of my favorite podcasts! It took me several episodes to figure out why this show left such a bad taste in my mouth when the premise has everything I’m interested in. The fawning fan girling would be fine and maybe even charming in a more likable or relatable host. Instead it comes off as both disingenuous and obsequious. The ongoing and egregiously affected tone that the unwashed masses just can’t possibly understand the sophisticated POV that the host shares with the guest is wildly distasteful. As another reviewer said ‘pretentious AF’. In addition it’s totally humorless which is the worst kind of arrogance when the host obviously thinks otherwise. It takes a special kind of talent to make such an interesting subject and subjects this truly boring and irritating. The conceit is interesting but there’s a Korean show on Netflix that did it first and does it better. The conceit *is* interesting but the host? Too conceited. ...but the host is pretentious AF and gets far too much pleasure from his “restaurant pet peeves.” His tune would change a bit, I’m sure, if he ever had to work a shift as a server. Really enjoy the guests and it’s always fun to compare what in my own fridge with what’s in theirs. Lots of interesting conversations and I’m hopeful for a new season! I’ve listened to him on another podcast that I thought I liked. Until I heard him say how great it would be for parents “of severely disabled parents to fix it so their kids don’t pee in a bag.” I can’t even begin to describe how mean, insensitive and ableist this talk is. As a parent of a severely disabled child, who doesn’t “pee in bag” I found it very degrading. My sons life is no less than snot one else. No one needs a self important podcast host of all people to place value on people. Enjoy his privileged and self important podcast at your own peril. I love when I can learn and laugh at the same time, and this podcast checks all the boxes! This podcast is not only entertaining, but also really informative! Love the food info and restaurant recommendations, but the real entertainment is in the fridge pics! *perhaps don’t listen on an empty stomach* If you want to listen to overpaid undeserving “celebrity” types boast about how amazing their lives are, how well they are eating and at times rag on homeless and mentally ill individuals, this is the show for you. Now sure where the comedy is. Gave it a try bc of spilled milks rec, but no. 2
1 Audio Poem of the Day Arts [The New Yorker: Poetry, The New Yorker: The Writer's Voice - New Fiction from The New Yorker, The New Yorker: Fiction, Selected Shorts, The Paris Review] Audio Poem of the Day Poetry Foundation Arts Audio recordings of classic and contemporary poems read by poets and actors, delivered every day. By Maureen ThorsonBy Danez SmithBy Catherine CarterBy Samuel Menasheby George StarbuckBy Kenneth Rexroth Thank you for the poems. test What we need now in our world is more caring, thoughtful people. Poets are such people. By their nature they examine their (and by extension, our) inner lives, and with immense generosity they give us the benefit of their well-honed mindful insights, delivered in beautiful phrases and cadences. My only suggestion is, could you please make the entire archive available? I only learned of you recently and it seems I cannot have access to the first 161 episodes. Is there any way you can retrofit the library to make them available? Whether you can or not, I’m very grateful for what you’ve already provided! Please don’t stop! The importance of this project cannot be overstated. Poets are the protectors and purveyors of history. But the future is represented here too. All we have to do is let the voices in. My only suggestion: provide more recordings of works read by the author wherever possible. Robert Lowell, for example, had a distinct reading style which I personally believe adds to the experience of his poems. Thank you for all you do to bring us poetry. Interesting idea and poem choices. Some of these I have to save to replay over and over. Almost all are less than 3 minutes, so they're easy to fit in to spare moments. Note that they're not actually released every day, just most days. A great variety of poetry, read without pretension. A good panorama of interesting poems. Simple grit And good Fit Wonderful selections, zero fluff. thank you for this. hearing poetry read aloud makes it more accessible and moving to me. contrary to what another review said, I like this the way it is. it doesn’t need an intro/outro, especially when the content is so short. 5
